Community Dinner- for Adult Adopted, Kinshipped, and Fostered People

  • East Market 212 Kelton Avenue Columbus, OH, 43205 United States (map)

This is a casual dinner to enjoy good food and good conversations, with other adult adopted and fostered, and/or kinshipped people. This group meets every first Thursday of the month, and rotates between dinners at the Market and online presentation given by Adult Adoptee Therapist. See schedule below.

Until the weather warms up, we will meet at East Market - Choose what you want for dinner from the vendors and join us at a table to eat and chat!

  • RSVP is helpful, but not necessary- there is plenty of seating.

  • Find us upstairs- get what food you want then go up the stairs by the Plant Gays booth and you will see us

  • Conversation is casual and self-directed - no one is forced to talk and there are no discussion questions prepared beforehand
